Chapoutier Cote Rotie la Mordoree
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - COTE-ROTIE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16321
The 2009 Cote Rotie La Mordoree (471 cases) is potentially the finest La Mordoree made since the monumental 1991 (which is just beginning to hit full maturity at age 20). Spring flower, black olive, smoky barbecued meat, creme de cassis, graphite and black cherry characteristics are all found in this complex, aromatic effort. With an unctuous texture and a full-bodied mouthfeel, this is a gorgeous example of Cote Rotie Syrah that should drink nicely for 20-25+ years. 96pts Wine Advocate (2009)

Billecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose Champagne
Size750MLVintage1998SKU4609
This is the benchmark for all other vintage Roses. Gorgeous aromas of strawberry and citrus oil with an extra-fine mousse. The palate reveals a significant nod to the Pinot Noir in the blend with bright cherry and yeast as well as balancing acidity. While this is delicious now, the future is promising.Chateau L'Evangile Pomerol

G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size500MLVintage1997SKU4707
The stunning, virtually perfect, 1997 Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance is so captivatingly pure, focused, and intricate as to be all but impossible to adequately describe. On the palate fresh peaches, citrus fruits, honey, acacia blossoms, quinine, chalk, and lemony mangoes can be found. Additionally, this medium-to-full-bodied, penetrating, yet perfectly balanced wine has a finish that seemingly lingers forever, revealing even more waves of minerals and fruit. 99pts Wine Advocate (1997)!Clos de Sarpe
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2010SKU17256
This is a quintessential blockbuster, no-compromise, massive, pedal-to-the-metal, balls-to-the-walls sort of wine with incredibly dense creme de cassis, kirsch, licorice, truffle and some background oak. 96pts Wine Advocate (2010)
S.A. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size500MLVintage2003SKU8125
Offers a stunning array of date, quince paste, fig and persimmon aromas and flavors, with a laser of acidity carrying it all through an extremely lengthy finish. Just when you think it's all opulence, riveting acidity and a green tea hint flash on the finish, leaving a wonderfully elegant impression. 98pts Wine Spectator (2003)
Billecart Salmon Brut Cuvee Nicolas Francois
Size1.5LVintage1998SKU7046
The freshness of the cuvee Nicolas Francois Billecart immediately apparent from its aromatic complexity - aromas of white flowers mixed with subtle notes of brioche. Wonderfully rich and elegant at the same time with lovely freshness on the palate. A classy blend of several Grand Cru vineyards.
Domaine Humbert Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8355
This is clearly the ripest wine with an exceptionally pretty nose of fresh red pinot fruit nuanced by notes of game, warm earth and underbrush that is also picked up on the supple, sweet and detailed flavors on the muscled and beautifully long finish. Recommended. Outstanding! Allen Meadows - BurghoundMarie Courtin Champagne Efflorescence Extra Brut
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size1.5LVintage2016SKU29910
Bright and sculpted to the core, the 2013 exudes energy. Chalk, mint, jasmine and orchard fruit add complexity, but it is the wine's overall balance that is most impressive. The Efflorescence offers striking translucence and energy from start to finish. The non-dose style is especially successful here. 94pts Antonio GalloniChateau Figeac St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2019SKU28357
Aromas of currants and sweet tobacco with some lead pencil. Medium to full body with very fine tannins and a long, linear finish. Very fine, silky tannins. Pretty is the word. Direct and precise. 95pts James Suckling
Billecart Salmon Brut Reserve NV
FRANCE: CHAMPAGNE - NON-VINTAGE CUVEE
Size3LVintageNVSKU7036
The NV Brut Reserve is a pretty, introspective wine laced with bright, citrus fruit, flowers and minerals. Medium in body, the wine reveals plenty of length and focus, with a crisp, refreshing finish. It is a great introduction to the elegance of Billecart-Salmon.Chateau Canon St. Emilion
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2016SKU25863
Vivacious and integrated already, with plum, raspberry and cassis notes matched by a bright floral hint and a flash of rooibos tea. Refined minerality through the finish. Ample depth, but it is defined by its purity and drive. 98pts Wine Spectator
Chateau Cos d'Estournel
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT ESTEPHE
Size750MLVintage2003SKU3731
The prodigious, fantastic 2003 Cos d'Estournel is a candidate for wine of the vintage. A compelling perfume of black fruits, subtle smoke, and flowers with extraordinary richness, full body, and remarkable freshness, elegance, and persistence. 98 pts RP Wine Advocate (2003)
Domaine Colin-Deleger Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Demoiselles
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - WHITE - PULIGNY-MONTRACHET
Size750MLVintage2005SKU6237
This is more elegant and refined still with an expressive nose that runs more toward floral and white fruit aromas whereas the slightly bigger and richer flavors give up none of the detail or minerality of the En Remilly. This is a bit more forward than it usually is but it's most impressive all the same. Outstanding! Allen Meadows-Burghound
Domaine Jacques Prieur Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - VOUGEOT
Size750MLVintage2006SKU8277
A completely different aromatic profile is presented as here the nose is much more earth dominated with a mix of red, black and violet notes that sit atop rich, full and notably serious medium full flavors that offer excellent volume and here too a bit of wood surfaces on the youthfully austere finish. The mouth feel is quite firm yet the tannins are relatively fine. Excellent quality. Allen Meadows - BurghoundJ. PRIEUR CORTON BRESSANDES

Chateau Pavie Macquin
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2005SKU4974
A black/purple color is accompanied by aromas of charcoal, burning embers, crushed rocks, sweet, pure, blueberries and blackberries, chocolaty creme de cassis, and licorice. It possesses massive concentration, phenomenal levels of tannin, and good acidity. A modern day elixir that should prove to be monumental in 15-20 years. 98pts Wine Advocate (2008)

FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PAUILLAC
Size750MLVintage2010SKU17255
An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. 100pts Wine Advocate (2010)Domaine Meo Camuzet NSG aux Boudots 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2012SKU28535
There is enough wood to notice as it sets off equally cool, ultra-pure and restrained aromas of dark berries, earth and a gentle hint of floral elements. There is superb intensity to the powerful and tautly muscular flavors that exude a very fine minerality on the overtly austere, serious and seriously persistent finish. This big and robust effort is clearly built to age and it will need plenty of it. Burghound 91/93Domaine Meo Camuzet Echezeaux

FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2013SKU28186
Dark red. Tight, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry and licorce. At once refined and decadent in the mouth, conveying a sophisticated glossy texture leavened by superb cut and energy. Boasts a near-perfect balance of urgent dark fruits and complex minerality, saturating every square millimeter of the palate. Finishes with noble tannins and outstanding rising length.
